Answer:
(7x)/(9)+(5)/(9)

Explanation:

A fraction has the following form:


(a)/(b)

Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator.

For this exercise it is important to remember that:


(p+m)/(n)=(p)/(n)+(m)/(n)\\\\(p-m)/(n)=(p)/(n)-(m)/(n)

Then, in the exercise you have the following fraction:


((7x+5))/(9)

Based on the explained before, you need to break the numerator into two parts (with the same denominator) in order to write the fraction as a sum or difference.

Then, written as a sum, this is:


(7x)/(9)+(5)/(9)
